The following are errors that you may encounter while building, installing, or running Rubinius along with suggested solutions.
For any error, a first step is to ensure you have a current, clean checkout of Rubinius. Before going further, consider running the following steps:
$ git co master
$ git reset --hard
$ git pull
$ rake distclean
$ rake
Error:
ERROR: unable to find runtime directory
Rubinius was configured to find the runtime directory at:
/Users/brian/devel/rubinius/runtime
but that directory does not exist.
Set the environment variable RBX_RUNTIME to the location
of the directory with the compiled Rubinius kernel files.
You may have configured Rubinius for a different install
directory but you have not run 'rake install' yet.
Solution:
If you configured rubinius with a –prefix, run rake install.
If you configured rubinius with a –prefix and renamed the install directory after installing Rubinius, re-configure Rubinius and reinstall it.
If you renamed the source directory after building Rubinius, re-configure and rebuild it.
In general, do not rename the source or build directory after building Rubinius.
